Questions:
1. Do I have to buy HWK from my UFS reseller?
2. Is the HWK in any way programmed to a single serial no. of the box, or can I change it from one box to another?

1 - You can buy from any listed reseller/distributor (check first post in this thread for list)
2 - Right now you can use a hwk on more boxes, but soon this will not be possible anymore and the HWK will be ''paired'' with the Sarasbox

Well if it was then it is for DCT4 and as such should not need the HWK and should be free upgrade as stated many times as HWK is for future platforms.

hi
HWK only adds se/lg/sharp stuff, however most of unlockers make up decision about this long ago, setool/cruiser/sonics are there for long and works fine,
about BB5 best move is JAF (and almost only one),
so I think HWK is not a big deal right now, perhaps in future...
best regards
Invisible
......if i see wright in this moment no need of HWK.......nothing new for $$$.....if mr.Saras or any programmer in their team make something increadible i will add HWK.....but at this moment i see Setool3=HWK......and even price is simmilar.......@SARASTEAM/HWKteam make something great like bb5 flashing/unlocking with this HWK or you will have dead tool and dead HWK in near future......regards :D
Unlocker AL
07-22-2005, 20:07
And for me is the same thing like setool 3
i don t want to spend more money for the same solutions
Saras better to work to unlock first BB5 product,unlocking nokia 6630 and 6680
yesterday i've been with a friend and i understand something, now HWK could have nothing new, and it costs 180euro but in a near future it can have really good upgrade, like bb5 unlocking or other ones but in that moment saras can not be producing HWK to we plugin in our UFSx. The Hwk will be inside the future UFSx and in that moment our old UFSX could have no more solution to the upgrade and we have to buy another tool more expensive than now
i think this could happens!

hi
BB5 is the big (and only at the moment) play to boost HWK sales,
notice that a lot of people moving to JAF, if HWK delays little more it will lost all that customers like happened with Semc phones,
I think semc+bb5 will like the latest people that still didnīt got semc tool,
however JAF added dct4 imei patch, so anybody having semc tool will choose this,
is time for saras to make big move and win...

Would that be BB5 flashing or would it be BB5 Flashing AND unlocking ?
I mean how many of us really cannot live wihout the posibility to upgrade the firmware on 2 nokia models ? (I know i can live without it). Would their be Unlocking as well then it would be a totally different matter..
Twisterfan
I have ask many customers for HWK, they said if no BB5 add no need, beacuse they have JAF, griffin, UFS, prodigy, vygissoft. TST. ager-attack. cruiser ..., any way many manay crack software make me headach when I have more stock not yet sale out.

twsiterfan, don't xpect BB5 unlock just for 199 USD.
So basically if i have a SETool dongled version today i would get 0 new features out of buying the HWK and if they should upgrade it with BB5 flashing i would be getting the possibility of flashing 2 nokia phone models for 200 USD...
That sounds a bit expensive would you not say ?
From where i am standing it looks to be a really bad offer... I could not make the 200 USD that the HWK cost on upgrading 6630 and 6680 phones and i bet the majority in here could not make that much money on just 2 models in a foreseeable future..

Ok, the problem was in an ini file that came with the .exe i was sent, ive swapped the file over and now J300 is activated, but still no 8330 or 8380 or SH801! Do u know why? Cos Saras say that they cant unlock these at the moment, they need phones to test to ensure unlocking.....
On a lighter note, BB5 WILL be implemented into hwk, but just flashing to start, apparently Saras are 'working' on the unlocking problem!
I presume that the version of hwk software that Odia has on his www.sarasbox.co.uk site is eithe a programmers test version or a fake, cos apparently version 1.8_a doesnt exist...u can have all models 'activated' by not having the Ekzf_Env.ini file in the same dir as the .exe.....obviously with that not being there you will more than likely have problems connecting, and thats if it will let you connect any phones at all!
Still, i like the way no one from 'hwk team' has bothered to answer my original question, or even bothered to help....hope their support is better than this!

My screenshots are not fake, they are from an internal test version, we just need samples to test the grey-out models.
1.8a does exist in this state, but there are later versions also, I am preparing a new installer, time willing this will be ready before the end of the weekend.
Please bare with us, we have support from many people so our support will be back on track very soon.

On a lighter note, BB5 WILL be implemented into hwk, but just flashing to start, apparently Saras are 'working' on the unlocking problem!
Having now gone to the Nokia BB5 forum and read the technical discussion thread I can see why BB5 unlocking is difficult (very difficult) and also why Dejan isn't giving away his solution to anyone else.
Nokia have clearly done a very good job on this part of their platform, although I can see why it's necessary for IMEI protection I don't think it's fair on customers to make SP unlocks so difficult to remove. Clearly the networks are applying a lot of pressure to try and trap people using their services.
If you are flashing BB5 it won't apparently be possible to downgrade firmware without breaking the phone as far as I can see.
As a supporter of strong crypto I suppose I shouldn't complain really when it's used against my interests.

HWK+UFS is no match for JAF+UFS
I ask alot of technician...

Why you compare this two? First, HWK is like Cruiser or SETool3 function, so don't compare it like with JAF. Maybe you don't know what you are talking about here :D Try comparing JAF+SETools :D
Hi All
I guess it was always going to boil down to a war with the Big Two
Its a Sad day reallly :( , but I guess we will all benifit in the short term. :D

Indeed, but currently the JAF and Griffin forums seem to say this is so. I'll confess that I haven't read everything fully, so maybe I'm talking about something that was the case but no longer is. I think I read that Nokia Level 1 and 2 centres cannot downgrade either, BICBW.

Odia is working on an updated installer this weekend, I assume he will be including the latest software and ini files in it.
Maybe you need to wait for this to appear and then see if it sorts out your problem.
I've never seen an LG8380, but I assume they're available somewhere.
